Upasāḷha untranslated
Upasāḷha, Upasāḷhaka. A wealthy Brahmin of Rājagaha. He lived near the monastery, but was an unbeliever and had nothing to do with the Buddha or his monks. He had a wise and intelligent son. When Upasāḷha was old, he told his son that, after death, he wished to be burnt in a cemetery unpolluted by any outcaste. Being asked by the son to point out such a spot, he took him to Gijjhakūṭa and showed him a place. As they were descending the hill, the Buddha, perceiving their upanissaya (potential), waited for them at the foot, and when they met he asked where they had been. Having heard their story, he related the Upasāḷhajātaka, showing that in the past, too, Upasāḷha had been fastidious about cemeteries. At the conclusion of the discourse, both father and son were established in the First Fruit of the Path. Ja.ii.54ff.
